Topical Keratolytic
Acne.org’s Real World Take
Easy to find and with low side effects, but don’t be surprised if you are left wishing for better results after using it for a while. Any acid on its own is unlikely to dramatically clear acne.

It moisturizes and heals. I LOVE IT. Last for a long time. I use another light moisturizer with it as well. The smell is fantastic and the consistency is beautiful. It doesn't burn my face in any way. woohoo!

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
Cleans my skin really well, Is tingle and fresh. Smells great.
Cons:
Is very drying to the skin, Weird consistency (made of synthetic wax)
A great overall face wash, has been one of my favorites for a while. Its just a little hard to use if your in the shower since its hard to spread (you cant just whack it on)

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
It seemed to lighten my pimples and reduce the size. They looked noticeably smaller.
Cons:
Stings when you first apply it to your skin.
This is a good product for those who do not usually get pimples/have acne. I think if a person with severe acne used this, it may be very painful because it stings. I like this and I have it on my face right now!

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Face Wash, Sensitive)
Pros:
good
Cons:
smells a bit
to be honest i only used it twice, the first time i used it before i went to bed, when i woke up in the morning my face wasnt oily at all like it usually is! then i used it in the morning and my face STILL wasnt oily by the end of the day. I usually have to wash my face 4 or 5 times a day to keep it from getting oily. i recommend it for anyone with oily skin but im not sure if it actually clears your acne because when i used it it just got rid of the oil, but who knows i haven't even used it for 2 days yet!

Product used: Neutrogena (Rapid Clear Acne Defense Lotion)
Pros:
Works consistently and well. Does not dry out skin and helps prevent breakouts better than most products. Helps to unclog pores.
Cons:
None so far.
I would really recommend this product above most other BHA and AHA products beacuse it is gently and effective. Be sure to combine it with a gentle cleanser and toner. I use Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Face Wash and a non-alcohol cleanser.
Pros:
it works
